Suffering From Kidney Infection And Stones. Is The White Spot On Kidney X-ray A Cyst?
I had a kidney infection on May as well as kidney stones which I passed. I still have pain in my lower right back and now m seeing like cofee grinds in my urine. I m nauseous and have chills. Chiropractor took xrays and there is a white spot on my kidney. Could it be a cyst or more stones?

Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
The white spot on the area of the kidney would be a calcification or a stone in the kidney since cysts in the kidney would not show in a X-ray. To be sure you my need to get a kidney ultrasound or a ct scan of the kidneys since the latter two imaging modalities has a better chance of detecting kidney stones.
If you are having chills and fever, I am urging you to go to a medical specialist to get proper treatment because it is fairly dangerous to have an infected kidney that is obstructed by stones.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
